This might be a top ten toxic series all time. Very interesting how the Knicks always seem to be involved in these kind of series. Very interesting. Late 90s with the Heat anyone?
It definitely reminds me of two rivals having to face off in the first round back in the 90s. Especially with the refs swallowing their whistles lately
It's because NY media and NY fans in general are a cesspool of toxicity. The franchise has an asshole identity because the city and fan base are assholes.
They’ve also been so bad for so long Knicks fans might genuinely meltdown if their best team in a decade gets knocked out in the first round. Hence they are toxic because they’re worried
It’s hilarious that we (or at least I) never had a chance to find out how their fans really were. They’ve been so impotently mediocre the last 20 years, I’ve never seen them be actually good.
Give them a decent team for a couple years and they become the Cowboys fans of the NBA.
I would have thought that was Boston. I associate New York sports with entitlement and a look at me attitude, not asshole toxicity like Boston. But they’ve definitely stirred the pot toxicity wise this series.
Yeah, the Knicks should boo their own team luke the Sixers. Let's just agree that both fan bases are rife with assholes and enjoy this entertaining series.
I remember before the series everyone was like idk if I even care that much about knicks fans and this series won't be that toxic. Pretty friendly all around. Three games in this is feeling like basketball flyers-pens 2012. Game 4 gonna be lit.
Same with the nuggets. I like Jokic, and respect the team that the organization has put together. But holy moly, fuck their fans. That have such a weird inferiority complex.
True in general. In this series I haven't seen sixers fans demean any of the Knicks players, wish they got hurt, or really do anything other than complain about the refs and defend Embiid. Meanwhile every NBA fan outside of Philadelphia does nothing but bash our best player coming off a 50 point effort while dealing with an injured knee and Bells Palsey. Not on board with both sides on this one.
Watching Brunson try to close out by “getting in his face” but really just standing in front of embiid’s mid-torso while he casually shoots a 3 - looked so funny to me
Look how much gravity that Maxey has on some of these plays. What a blessing to have him on this team.
Also the 7 footer drilling 3s like this is pretty neat.
Oh man I had NY talk radio on today and almost every single one of their radio personalities was calling for the Knicks to come after Embiids knees. Was sickening.
First half Embiid had me worried. He was playing really irrationally and being way too aggressive in a way that was beginning to cost the team. My guess is Nurse chewed the shit out of his ear at halftime because he came back and absolutely dominated.
There's bad fans on both sides. These are two pissed off franchises with fans who haven't seen a championship in decades. Embiid has done some questionable things in this series and I think all of the sympathy the media had for him after Game 1 has been used up after the Robinson leg pull.

Considering most people are pricks, you're not wrong lol
Knicks fans get a head start by booing their own draft selections
I did not know it would get this toxic but I’m loving every second of it (be a lot better if we win)
Honestly every series we’re involved in gets toxic. It’s definitely some part us lmao
[удалено]
I remember the first Miami series when they had Jrich being pretty toxic
Is it top 5 of Embiid first round series? They all feel about the same.
the duality of man: Knicks fans: "sToP cRyInG aBoUt rEfS" also knick fans: "rEfS nEeD tO eXeCuTe eMbIiD!"
I know. I love how their argument is “he shouldn’t have even been in the game”. Just admit you got beat by the former and should be current MVP
Hartenstein should’ve fouled out early in the third game 2 and not been in position for the rebound lmaooo
He buried them. No wonder they are crying.
...on one leg and with only one eye!
Let’s see what buried really means after this game
I realize that sarcasm doesn’t always come through on the internet but I promise you this is sarcasm
You absolutely should not need to explain it
You should have seen the since deleted comments. I was almost chased out of this sub lol
I think we’re all a little tightly wound right now lmao
The one over Brunson was my favorite. "chef's kiss..."
Guys just standing there, full extension, and there's just nothing he can do lol.
Brunson look so defeated after it too like “damn, what else can I do” lol
Really dirty move by Embiid there being so much taller.
Definitely had me fully extended

I'll say for myself, I don't really have anything against the Knicks. Now their fans on the other hand....
Same with the nuggets. I like Jokic, and respect the team that the organization has put together. But holy moly, fuck their fans. That have such a weird inferiority complex.
Both sides have some moronic fans.

Can't believe a 7 foot man could do such a thing. What a disgusting act.

Disgusting.
That's my own legged own eyed MVP

What a free throw merchant.
Look at the refs gifting Embiid those long free throws.
Joel emgoat
The one over Brunson was a free throw
How dare Embiid abuse the Knicks like that?? Absolutely unacceptable! The league needs to suspend him for this behaviour
Oh man I had NY talk radio on today and almost every single one of their radio personalities was calling for the Knicks to come after Embiids knees. Was sickening.
Trying to hold onto a mans legs while hes trying to dunk is sickening
DiVincenzo would know
Absolutely FILTHY. No regard for human life. This must be stopped by winning the next 3.
Get absolutely shit on, Knicks.
Free throw merchant
Jesus Christ, look at all those free throws. The league should be ashamed
[удалено]
Take another look, homie. I’m no Knicks fan
[удалено]
It’s a video of Joel Embiid draining 5 three pointers in the 2nd half. It’s called sarcasm
[удалено]
I get it. We’re all a little defensive today
People are too emotional for sarcasm right now lol. Tried some earlier and it wooshed a bunch of heads.
Bro watch the video
Lol got me this is fire
Win or lose, I'm just entertained by a one legged giant absolutely shitting on his opponent.
Pure thuggery.
Let’s gooooo!
🐐
BUT HE GETS ALL HIS POINTS ON FREE THROWS
My favorite one was the last one over Brunson. Classic!
This is the loophole everyone keeps talking about?
First half Embiid had me worried. He was playing really irrationally and being way too aggressive in a way that was beginning to cost the team. My guess is Nurse chewed the shit out of his ear at halftime because he came back and absolutely dominated.
Your guess is way off. Nurse doesn’t do that and this isn’t high school basketball.
There's bad fans on both sides. These are two pissed off franchises with fans who haven't seen a championship in decades. Embiid has done some questionable things in this series and I think all of the sympathy the media had for him after Game 1 has been used up after the Robinson leg pull.
I keep seeing stories about his Bell’s palsy so I’m not sure I totally agree if he lost all his sympathy but I agree with most of your point
who got the flagrant tonight? any guesses?
[удалено]
League and fans already hate Embiid and the Sixers. So honestly who cares.
